DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

The following description and the drawings sufficiently illustrate specific embodiments to enable those skilled in the art to practice them. Other embodiments can incorporate structural, logical, electrical, process, or other changes. Portions and features of some embodiments can be included in, or substituted for, those of other embodiments. Embodiments set forth in the claims encompass all available equivalents of those claims.

Embodiments of a system and method for localized high density substrate routing in a bumpless buildup layer (BBUL) substrate are generally described herein. In one or more embodiments a device can include a bumpless buildup layer (BBUL) substrate including a first die at least partially embedded in the BBUL substrate, the first die including a first plurality of high density interconnect pads. A second die can be at least partially embedded in the BBUL substrate, the second die including a second plurality of high density interconnect pads. A high density interconnect element can be embedded in the BBUL substrate, the high density interconnect element including a third plurality of high density interconnect pads electrically coupled to the first and second plurality of high density interconnect pads

Current board design can be created by incorporating a number of heterogeneous functions, picking individual packages that implement these functions, and designing the board around the packages chosen. This approach can increase the system board area, power loss, complexity, component count, or costs over an integrated solution.

The input/output (IO) density in a package substrate can be a function of a substrate's minimum pad size, minimum trace dimensions, minimum space dimensions, or the capability of the manufacturing process. The routing density in a multichip substrate can be several orders of magnitude lower than chip level routing density. This routing density can impact cost, size, and performance of a product.

A way to reduce the size of a product can include utilizing a silicon interposer in a package to provide a high density chip to chip interconnection. Such a solution can include a higher cost due to the cost of the silicon interposer, additional assembly and process steps, and compounding yield loss.

A substrate can include a high density interconnect bridge in a BBUL package or substrate with multiple embedded dice (e.g., chips) embedded, at least partially, therein. Such a solution can eliminate a first level interconnect (FLI) die attach and use panel processing to reduce the overall cost. Such a solution can allow a high density interconnect to be situated where it would be advantageous and allow low density interconnect (e.g., routing with a substrate routing technique) where it is desired.

Substrate routing can take up a significant amount of space and can be a factor in the overall size of a die package. By including typical substrate routing techniques, which can result in less dense routing than chip routing techniques, there may not be enough space to route the die without routing through the die. Integrating a high density interconnect element in a package or substrate, such as a BBUL, package or substrate, can allow for an increase in overall local routing and interconnect density of a package, thus helping to reduce size and cost. These problems may be avoided by including a high density interconnect element in the substrate. In one or more embodiments, the high density interconnect element is a silicon die interconnect bridge. In one or more embodiments, the high density interconnect element is a glass die interconnect bridge. In one or more embodiments, the high density interconnect element is a different type of chip made using chip routing technology.

Referring now to FIG. 1, a BBUL package 100 with multiple embedded dice 102A-B can include low density substrate routing (e.g., routing accomplished using a substrate routing technique) and low density interconnect pads 104A-B (e.g., low density chip interconnects). The dice 102A-B can be electrically coupled through low density interconnect pads 104A-B that are electrically coupled through vias 106A-B which are electrically coupled through another low density interconnect pad 104C. Such an implementation can include up to about 23 interconnects/mm/layer.

FIG. 2 shows an example of a BBUL substrate 200 with two dice 102A-B electrically coupled through a high density interconnect element 114. Each dice 102A-B can include a plurality of low density interconnect pads 104A-B, respectively, and a plurality a high density interconnect pads 116A-B, respectively. The high density interconnect pads 116A-B can be electrically coupled through high density interconnect pads 116C-D on the high density interconnect element 114. The high density interconnect element 114 can be routed to electrically couple a high density interconnect pad 116A on die 102A to a high density interconnect pad 116B on second die 102B. Such electrical coupling can be accomplished by coupling a high density interconnect pad 116B to a high density interconnect pad 116C, coupling the high density interconnect pad 116C to another high density interconnect pad 116D through a trace 107 in the high density interconnect element 114, and coupling the high density interconnect pad 116D to a high density interconnect pad 116A on the die 102A, such as shown in FIG. 3. Such an implementation can include up to about 250 interconnects/mm/Layer.

The dice 102A-B can be analog or logic dice, or a mixture of analog and logic dice. An analog die is one that includes mostly analog components and a digital die is one that includes mostly logic gates and other logic components. The dice 102A-B can include a CPU, graphics, memory, radio, MicroElectroMechanical system (MEMS) sensor, or other type of circuitry.

The BBUL substrate 200 can include a plurality of vias 106 electrically coupling low density interconnect pads 104 between buildup layers 108A-D. The buildup layers 108 can include copper (Cu) interconnects and Ajinomoto dielectric buildup layers. The BBUL substrate can include a solder resist 112 situated on a fourth buildup layer 108D and between solder balls 110, or other electrically conductive interconnect elements.

FIGS. 4A-4G show a technique for embedding a high density interconnect element 114 in a BBUL substrate or package. A substrate carrier 120, such as a coreless carrier or a copper substrate carrier, can be formed. Die backside films 122A-B can be situated on a substrate carrier 120. The die backside films 122A-B can be situated using a dielectric lamination process. Dice 102A-B can be situated on the die backside films 122A-B, respectively. In one or more embodiments, a silicide can be formed on the substrate carrier 120 or the die 102 and the die 102 can be coupled to the substrate carrier 120 through the silicide. In one or more embodiments, an adhesive film is situated on a panel, the adhesive film is patterned to match a dice 102 footprint, and then dice 102 are situated on the adhesive film.

The first die 102A can include a plurality of low density interconnect pads 104A and a plurality of high density interconnect pads 116A. The second die 102B can include a plurality of low density interconnect pads 104B and a plurality of high density interconnect pads 116B, such as shown in FIG. 4A. FIG. 4B shows a buildup layer 108A situated over the substrate carrier 120 and on, over, or around the dice 102A-B. The first buildup layer 108A can cover the high density interconnect pads 116A-B and low density interconnect pads 104A-B. One or more via holes 124 can be formed in the buildup layer 108A, such as by laser drilling. The via holes 124 can be formed to expose one or more low density interconnect pads 104A-B, such as shown in FIG. 4C.

FIG. 4D shows the via holes 124 at least partially filled with a conductive material, such as copper, to form electrically conductive vias 106. Low density interconnect pads 104C can be situated on or over the vias 106. One or more of the low density interconnect pads 104C can electrically couple two or more of the low density interconnect pads 104A or 104B, such as shown in FIG. 4D. The via holes 124 can be filled and the low density interconnect pads 104C can be formed using a semi-additive lithographic or electroplating process. The low density interconnect pads 104C-E can act as a bus, such as a power, ground, or data bus.

A cavity 128A can be formed in the buildup layer 108A, such as to expose high density interconnect pads 116A-B, such as shown in FIG. 4E. In one or more embodiments, the cavity 128 is between about 30 um and 150 um deep with a length of up to about 10 mm and a width of up to about 10 mm. Other length, width, and depth dimensions are possible. FIG. 4F shows a high density interconnect element 114 situated at least partially in the cavity 128A. The high density interconnect pads 1160 can be electrically coupled to the high density interconnect pads 116A-B, such as shown in FIG. 4F. Such an electrical coupling can be created by depositing an epoxy flux and Thermal Compression Bonding (TCB) high density interconnect pads 116C to high density interconnect pads 116A-B (e.g., in situ epoxy TCB). Another technique of such electrical coupling includes using a TCB process to electrically couple high density interconnect pads 116C to high density interconnect pads 116A-B and filling gaps between the high density interconnect element 114 and the dice 102A-B and between high density interconnect pads 116A-C (e.g., in situ capillary underfill TCB). In one or more examples, the technique can include removing contaminants, such as oxide, before TCB.

FIG. 4G shows second and third buildup layers 108B-C with vias 106 formed therein and low density interconnect pads 104D-E formed thereon. A layer of solder resist 112 can be formed on the third buildup layer 108C. The solder resist 112 can be situated so as to leave low density interconnect pads 104E exposed. Solder balls 110 can be formed on the low density interconnect pads 104E and the substrate carrier 120 can be removed. The resulting package can be similar to the BBUL substrate 200, depicted in FIG. 2.

FIGS. 5A-5E depict a technique for embedding a high density interconnect element 114 in a BBUL substrate or package. The technique can begin with a process substantially similar to the process shown in FIGS. 4A-4D. FIG. 5A depicts the partial substrate of FIG. 4D with second and third buildup layers 108B-C formed over the first buildup layer 108A. The second and third buildup layers 108B-C can include vias 106 formed therein and low density interconnect pads 104D-E formed thereon. A layer of solder resist 112 can be formed on the third buildup layer 108C, such as shown in FIG. 5A.

A cavity 128B can be formed by removing a portion of the solder resist 112, first buildup layer 108A, second buildup layer 108B, and third buildup layer 108C, such as cavity 128B shown in FIG. 5B. Such a process can expose high density interconnect pads 116A-B. Removing the portion of the solder resist 112, first buildup layer 108A, second buildup layer 108B, and third buildup layer 108C can be accomplished using a sandblasting or laser ablation process. The sandblasting can include dry film resist patterning with an optional etch stop at a passivation layer of the high density interconnect pads 116A-B or the dice 102. The laser ablation can include laser skiving, laser projection printing, or laser pulsing. In one or more examples, sandblasting or laser ablation can be used to remove a majority of material to be removed (e.g., portions of one or more buildup layers or solder resist) and a selective etch (e.g., plasma ashing, wet etching, microwave plasma etching) can be used to remove the remainder of the material to be removed.

A high density interconnect element 114 can be situated in the cavity 128, such as to electrically couple the dice 102A-B. The high density interconnect element 114 can be coupled using an in situ epoxy TCB, an in situ capillary underfill TCB process, a solder ball attachment, or other process, such as shown in FIG. 5C. An encapsulant 126 (e.g., mold material, ajinomoto dielectric film (ABF), or epoxy, among others) can be situated over and around the high density interconnect element 114, such as shown in FIG. 5D. Portions of solder resist 112 covering low density interconnect pads 104E on the third buildup layer 108C can be removed. FIG. 5E shows the substrate depicted in FIG. 5D with solder balls 110 electrically coupled to low density interconnect pads 104E and the substrate carrier 120 removed.

FIGS. 6A-6E depict a technique of situating a high density interconnect element 114 in a BBUL substrate or package. The technique can begin with the partial substrate depicted in FIG. 4A. A first build layer 108A can be formed around the dice 102A-B and over or on the substrate carrier 120. The first buildup layer 108A can leave the low density interconnect pads 104A-B and the high density interconnect pads 116A-B exposed. A high density interconnect element 114 can be electrically coupled to the dice 102A-B, such as by using an in situ epoxy TCB or in situ capillary underfill TCB process, such as shown in FIG. 6A.

FIG. 6B shows a second buildup layer 108B formed on or over the first buildup layer 108A and around the high density interconnect element 114, the low density interconnect pads 104A-B, and the dielectric 118 (e.g., epoxy or capillary underfill). Via holes 124 can be formed in the second buildup layer 108B to expose low density interconnect pads 104A-B, such as shown in FIG. 6C.

FIG. 6C shows the via holes 124 at least partially filled with a conductive material, such as copper, to form electrically conductive vias 106. Low density interconnect pads 104C can be situated on or over the vias 106. FIG. 6D shows third and fourth buildup layers 108C-D formed over the second buildup layer 1089 and vias 106 formed the third and fourth buildup layers 108C-D. Low density interconnect pads 104D-E can be formed on the third and fourth buildup layers 108C-D, respectively. A layer of solder resist 112 can be formed on the fourth buildup layer 108D. Portions of solder resist 112 can be removed to expose one or more low density interconnect pads 104E. Solder balls 110 can be formed on the low density interconnect pads 104E and the substrate carrier 120 can be removed. The resulting package can be similar to the BBUL substrate 200, depicted in FIG. 2.
